Anime's that are awesome.

Inuyasha is the best

Why do you say that?

Have you ever watched even 2 seconds of Blood+?

[krissy]

hypo i love blood+ for a variety of nerdy reasons

however have you seen the original movie? not the live action, let's pretend that never happened. the blood: the last vampire movie from the 90's? it's probably my favorite anime film of all time, allll time.

If you had a vagina I would kiss you.

blood+ sucks cause it's so different from Blood the last vampire. They completely butchered the original story. Should have just called it something else with different names. Inuyasha's cute and full of action!

Inuyasha is the Pedantic ramblings of a mind incapable of true character developement and its nonsensical jumblings have hindered society as a whole.

I like Kouga, but I prefer human Inuyasha. I hate Kagome and Kikyo. There was a little girl who was the kid sister of the thunder and cloud brothers and she ends up having a crush on Shippo and drew a pic of him looking all shonen. I wrote a fanfic about Shippo being trapped in the future with his future self and she was his girlfriend. It wasn't great. I don't like writing fanfiction.

[Freya]

IT'S CUTE AND ACTIONY.


I used to write fanfictions for inuyasha way back when. Before I joined EoFF. I can't remember my old usernames I went by cause i have the memory of a goldfish but I so wrote fanfics for inuyasha too XD They were probably bad. I also hate kagome and kikyo too. I love Miroku, Koga and well Inuyasha.

All I have to say about Inu Yasha is WENCH!

I don't watch much anime. I've caught an episode or two from a lot of different shows, but there have only been a few that I enjoyed enough to watch all of. I've seen most of Inu Yasha, (okay, I guess I have more to say about Inu Yasha) but I don't really consider it to be a very good show. It's primarily filler and it's repetitive filler at that.

Noein was really interesting but every time I start it I can never finish seem to finish it. I get a little further each time though, so that's a good sign.

The Vision of Escaflowne is probably one of my favorite anime but I couldn't really begin to describe why. I don't really know why. It's like the Twilight of anime, the main character is conflicted between love interests throughout almost the entire series (which is only like 25 episodes, but still!) and the one she's supposed to be with is so painfully obvious... ugh, she's just an idiot. They story behind all that crap is really interesting though.

If you ever get the chance I suggest you watch Guin Saga. Probably the fastest I've ever seen a good concept turn to crap in my life, but it's hilarious watching it go.

Lastly, I love anything Miyazaki does. There's always an interesting story and the animation is beautiful.

I started watching anime last December. Obviously started with Naruto; love it, but the Fourth Shinobi War arc is taking the piss. I'm now on Bleach, which I also love, though it suffers from Narutoitis at times. When it's good it's brilliant, when it's bad it's annoying. I know that Avatar: the Last Airbender isn't Japanese, but it's an American take on anime and it's genuinely one of the best TV shows ever made. Definitely in my top 20, at the very least. I intend to watch Legend of Korra once I'm done with Bleach. I have also been recommended Full Metal Alchemist, so I'll be getting on with that soon enough.

So...big question... subbed or dubbed, guys?

[Freya]

I'm probably forgetting A WHOLE LOT of them (I find it weird that I don't have any series starting with the letter M on that list), but I can't check my fileserver right now so that list will have to do. I also have a small list of suggested anime that I haven't seen yet, but I've probably already crossed off most of that list. Plus Sarah has a few she wants me to download for us to watch together, like Polyphonica, Tales of Symphonia, and Golgo 13 (smurf yeah Golgo 13 is an anime ).

As Quin mentioned, Avatar is pretty good as well. You could throw in Samurai Jack along with it

So...big question... subbed or dubbed, guys?

>not learning Japanese to watch anime properly

...Although watching Shin Chan without subtitles is a bit difficult to follow.

EDIT: forgot some obscure ones: S-Cry-Ed and Zatch Bell

EDIT2: Who remembers Zoids!?!?

[Agent Proto]

I noticed no one has listed the following, but that's okay because I'll list them. (It's incredibly tiny, like three.)

1. Midori Days
2. Sakura Diaries
3. Comic Party

Well, that's that!

[JKTrix]

I like anime. I totally forgot about 'myanimelist'. I remember trying to add everything I ever watched to it, but it became too tedious and about 3 years ago I just decided to add more notable things. And then I haven't logged on to it at all since last year. There are probably things I'd add to it now, but meh.

http://myanimelist.net/animelist/JKTrix&show=0&order=4
(ordered by my old ratings)

While there are things I would probably change about those rankings today, I'd say things I rank 9 or higher are things I would generally recommend to most people who don't have a short attention span. I don't think I'll bother downvoting what most other people have said here, but you'll notice a distinct lack of shows like Inuyasha and Naruto and Bleach (despite how many episodes I watched of that) on there. I respect them from a distance but have no interest getting into them. I prefer things that are designed to have an ending rather than something that goes on for years. I do enjoy some dumb stuff too--just not if it goes on forever.

My favourite kinds of shows generally involve science fiction and giant robots. Don't be afraid to dig into shows from before you were born as well. If I had to pick one series to pick as my absolute favourite, it would be Legend of the Galactic Heroes.
